An award and some random stuff...

So my blah, hum-drum day has been given new life! I got in this morning to find that Fancy Schmancy had tagged me with an Honest Scrap award (Thanks so much!!) and while I'm not big on memes (cause they usually take me forever to think of stuff to write that I eventually just give up after a while.) But this time I happened to have a few ideas on the top of my head so I just went with it and the rest pretty much wrote itself. (If only stuff at work was this easy!) So again - Thanks Fancy!

So here is the award...

Here are the rules...
1.) “The Honest Scrap” award is not one to hold all to your self but it must be shared!
2.) First, the recipient has to tell 10 true things about themselves in their blog that no one else knows.
3.) Second, the recipient has to pass along this prestigious award to 10 more bloggers.
4.) Third, those 10 bloggers all have to be notified they have been given with this award.
5.) Those 10 bloggers that receive this award should link back to the blog that awarded them “The Honest Scrap’ award.

And here are my 10 things...

1.) I spent an hour in the sun yesterday because it was freaking cold in our house and I wanted to warm up. So today I'm sporting the latest "lobster red" skin color fashion. I am incapable of tanning unless I slather on the SPF 70 followed by spending a solid 80 hours in the sun (i.e. need to head back down to Mexico for a week!)

2.) So now my coworkers are probably wondering if I was really working from home yesterday since it looks like I spent the day down at the beach instead. I wish!

3.) It has been a dream of mine to someday own a convertible. It all started before I could even drive when the first Mazda Miata came out. But as with all things, tastes change over time. Now I want a BMW Z4 or Mini. Go figure...

4.) I tend to get sucked into television shows and/or movies much too easily. Right now I'm wondering what it would be like being a woman and drive a big rig like Lisa Kelly on Ice Road Truckers. Although I don't think I'd like to drive it on the Dalton Hwy in Alaska. Or on any road intentionally paved with ice. Or the occassional 5' snow drifts. Or along mountain passes with 1000' drops on either side.

5.) I think my dream job would be to captain some rich person's yacht. Sailing them around the world. Meeting them in the Caribbean in time for their helicopter to land onboard the helipad and hopping from island to island. Yup...

6.) Since high school I have worked in both the blue-collar and white-collar fields and have discovered that both have pluses and minuses. Despite all that, I'm still trying to figure out what I want to be when I grow up.

7.) I sometimes wonder what it would be like to pack up and move to a new city/state every few years. To see new places, meet new people. Then I remember how much crap I have accumulated in recent years and think there's no way in hell I'm packing all of that!

8.) I'd love to hire a cleaning lady, but the cost frightens me. Then I read that some stay-at-home-lazy-mom somewhere is complaing that her cleaning lady isn't doing a good enough job and I think WTF?!?

9.) When I'm at work, I wish I could just stay home and be with B. When I was on maternity leave, I couldn't wait to get back to work. I guess there's just no pleasing me!

10.) I'm dreaming right now about driving a big rig, around the country, with my convertible in the trailer and B in the back seat singing songs to pass the time. And with all the money I'd be making as a trucker, I could drive straight down to Miami, catch a plane to Mexico (sunscreen in tow) for a week of fun before heading back and driving to some other part of the country I've never seen before. Hmm...think it could work?

Athough it's against the rules, I've decided not to tag anyone with this and to keep the award all to myself! Mainly because most of my fellow bloggers have been tagged with this award already. But really it's cause I've just plain run out of time.
